Pressure Congress to use common sense

JACKSON — It’s time to wake up and put all possible pressure on the people who represent you in Congress, no matter what party they represent. I don’t know about the rest of you true Americans, but I’m tired of seeing my country dumped on and criticized by other countries and their leaders.

Phone, email and write letters to Congress, and tell them to get us out of the United Nations, bring our armed forces home and let them protect our borders from illegal immigrants and drug runners, and stop giving financial aid and relief supplies to countries that continually dump on us, either verbally or by their actions against us.

We cannot continue the way we are going today. We should not be getting into military conflicts in countries that have had severe religious wars for centuries. It’s a no-win situation to start with, and it drains us financially and in lost American lives.

Hopefully, the pressure you bring to bear on members of Congress will let them know that it’s time to get back to a government with common sense that really represents America, instead of the “How is it going to benefit me?” attitude that is prevalent now.

We have too much government regulation, and unfortunately our government listens to the minority that makes the most noise and sends lots of campaign funds their way, which results in more laws and regulations that are detrimental to the growth and prosperity of our country.

If they don’t get it done, don’t give them campaign funds and vote them out of office, as we are way over-regulated and the debt that keeps mounting is ruining our country.
